CTP (S2EMarSpeical15) Mar 2025 Music Weeks Wk 3 Ep 4: From Katrina to Comeback: G-Star's Journey    
G-Sta, a New Orleans rapper, shares his powerful journey from Hurricane Katrina survivor to music creator and insurance adjuster helping others recover from similar disasters. His story weaves through themes of cultural pride, family bonds, and creating positive hip-hop that elevates women rather than degrades them.
• Born and raised in New Orleans, deeply connected to the city's unique culture, food, and community
• Was visiting family when Hurricane Katrina hit, enabling him to evacuate them before floodwaters reached 8 feet high in his mother's home
• Lost his 15-year-old cousin to the floodwaters and heard horrific stories of survival from the Superdome
• Family relocated permanently to Texas rather than returning to New Orleans
• Later became an insurance adjuster for hurricane claims, using his personal experience to help others recover
• Mentored by his uncle, a professional musician who introduced him to studio equipment as a child
• Creating music that challenges negative stereotypes, particularly of women in hip-hop
• Currently working on a long-awaited album with the positive single "I Win"
